clearly they meant RSI as in repetitive strain injury, from jerking each other off so much

Using the fun button in the backdoor, saw it on an episode of SVU* (edit: it may have been CSI)

Epistatus: I skimmed the first 20 pages of the paper. I have not watched the WoW documentary.

Yeah, the paper doesn’t seem to do a good job at justifying introducing system 3. They should have at least looked at why you couldn’t model this as something like:

1. Person encounters a situation requiring thought
2. System 1 triggers System 2
3. System 2 offloads cognition to some black box
4. The result is absorbed and successfully addresses the situation
5. A- System 1 is rewarded and begins adding use of the black box to its repertoire, skipping System 2

or

B- System 2 absorbs the result and begins trusting the black box more, perhaps deferring to its result before any internal cognition

Both of these things I pulled outta my ass can explain deskilling, and a situation like 5a) might explain capitulating to AI under pressure. So I’m not feeling like System 3 is necessary here.

That all being said, it’s not like the paper gets to decide how the rest of the world chooses to use “cognitive surrender”.

My bad, it was late when I posted and I only searched for surrender.

This particular exchange is KenM coded

Well, I don’t really have any skin in this game, so either term works well enough for me.

That being said, if the phrase is coming from that Wharton paper, note that it appears they are trying to extend the “Thinking Fast and Slow” model of Systems 1 and 2 to include a System 3. So take that as you will. OFC it goes without saying that this model is beloved by our dear, dear, ever-increasingly incorrect friends

The guy admits that those tweets are his in the thread. The influence is not substantial to the problem here

also, how do we know that they meant to be bigoted when they typed those words in that order? Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? That’s what you sound like

I’ve been seeing some new terms pop up around AI use, namely “cognitive surrender,” and also “cognitive offloading”. I’m not in the mood for the full etymology dive, so the source I’m stopping at on the provenance would be a paper from Wharton. The meanings are pretty intuitive, at least based on how I’ve seen them used. Offloading would be when you delegate some of your thinking to something else, and surrender would be complete offloading.

I am not under the impression that people here haven’t seen these phrases before. “cognitive surrender” has been mentioned, as far as I can tell, only one time on this instance. So just thought I’d bring it up.

Truly a stub for the ages: REK holds robot vs. human cage match.

it’s slop

Chicken little ass motherfuckers thinking the sky is falling when it’s just rain

4 epsteinillion is what the next stately EA manor will cost

well you see they are compelled to work on increasing AI’s capabilities because of this one thought experiment that they came up with a while back

from engadget: Anthropic has set up a bio research lab for physical experiments

the AGI is making the diamandingo bacteria!!! P(doom) just went up 4 epistillion percent

in the same vein as jorjor wel, rakers wile

I…worked on this sneer for years…and…he just…he tweeted it out.

Just another centrist taking the long way around to fascism

That would be like if Pyrrhus of Epirus cut off Peter’s nose to spite Paul

Omfg, parachuting in here to say that going out of one’s way to shit talk luddites is like saying protests are bad because of vandalism or property damage etc. Fuck this guy
